The Ragged Legion of the Kinslayer

After traveling through time and becoming an exiled young lord, I returned to the fiefdom with three subordinates who were despised by everyone. Kyle, the blacksmith's daughter, was expelled from the family for destroying noble weapons, but she is my only weapons master. The lame bachelor Gavin was expelled from the academy for "blasphemous knowledge", but he was the only one who could understand ancient defense maps. Brandon, a veteran with a severed finger, was stripped of his military rank for disobedience on the battlefield, but he is my most trusted general defending the city. "A parricide is a perfect match for trash!" The nobles of the royal capital laughed at us. But when the beast tide broke through the border, the royal army was defeated. Kyle's modified crossbow shot through the beast's eye socket. The ancient city walls restored by Gavin blocked the flood of attacks. Brandon's remaining soldiers guarded the city gate without retreating. I stood at the top of the city, looking down at the battlefield littered with corpses. "Now, who's the trash?"
